    Can anyone recommend a cheap/free platform that allows employees in several different locations to create discussions, post photos, possibly create polls, etc...

    I'm not sure if it's a forum I want... a social tool... or a SharePoint type infrastructure (but cheaper).

    The key is - it has to be easy to use. These employees cant create Google accounts and start using Google Drive. They're probably not smart enough to create a private group on Facebook.

    I need a collaborative environment that is private, slick and easy enough for a baby to use... for under $99/month.

    Online forums like this one are a bit archaic unless you spend time beefing them up. I prefer something that works right out of the box.

    If they can't create Google Accounts then I say you need to fire them all and hire boxes of rocks.

    Creating the account, logging in, learning to navigate, remembering their passwords - these are all barriers that will lead to failure. People are dumb, what can I say?

    This.

    If your employees can't crawl over that bar, it's time to reevaluate... everything.

    I'm sorry but if they can't remember passwords to login then how are they going to create discussions, post photos, possibly create polls, etc?

    Unfortunately I work with the same type of people. They get freaked out over using VPN.
    I call them the La Resistance.
